Gryph Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 i beat he used the cell from sony, lol anyway that's crazy, y would anyone need a computer that fast, for now<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Overclocking isn't done because someone needs a really fast computer. It's done just for the challenge of it. It's like climbing Mt. Everest. Why would anyone want to do it? Just to say you did it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something you do for self-gratification outside of work. Try getting a hobby, it's great. i beat he used the cell from sony, lol anyway that's crazy, y would anyone need a computer that fast, for now<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Overclocking isn't done because someone needs a really fast computer.

Wizard Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 (edited) 1.5ghz GeForce 4? Where?! But more importantly, how?<{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'll take pics at my next LAN. My friend $age got his GeForce 4 64mb overclocked to a 1.5 GHz on stock cooling, lasted for about 30 minutes before his computer shut off by it self. Stuff: that thingy that overclocks nVidia cards, Time, a fire extinguisher, cold room. Edited February 14, 2005 by K`dash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gryph Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 Ahahaha! Ok, so it's not stable. That's what I thought. What's the fastest stable he's gotten and how is performance. Imagine being able to have it run at 1.5 ghz long enough to run a benchmark... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agozer Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 Ahahaha! Ok, so it's not stable. That's what I thought. What's the fastest stable he's gotten and how is performance. Imagine being able to have it run at 1.5 ghz long enough to run a benchmark...That's insane. I bet someone can eventually make it stable enough to get some benchmarking results. Still, I don't understand why is it so awesome to overclock stuff when you risk the hardware itself... Even if it's just to show-off. Eh, I'm more of a "do it if it benefits you" kind of a person. Then again, I don't use this motto in every situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizard Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 PC hardware is completely about bragging rights. Like right now. Look folks, I got an AMD 64 3200+ thats overclocked to 2.50 GHz and a ATi Radeon 9800 Pro clocked at 405/371 on stock! I've no idea how high his card can go with being stable, I've only witnessed this event once. And we do plan on doing it again while theres still snow on the ground here.

Gryph Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 That's some decent overclocking on stock. I gave up overclocking a few years back. I don't feel confident enough with my cooling situation to overclock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
